## What it is
Helmify is a Go CLI tool that converts Kubernetes YAML manifests into Helm charts. It reads Kubernetes objects from stdin or the filesystem and generates a templated Helm chart directory, with special integration for Operator-SDK and Kubebuilder projects.

## Use cases
- convert kubernetes yaml manifests to a helm chart
- generate helm chart from kustomize output
- add helm chart generation to my operator-sdk project
- turn a deployment yaml into a helm chart
- package kubernetes manifests as helm chart
- create helm chart from multiple yaml files in a directory
- helmify my kubebuilder operator

## When to choose
- you have raw Kubernetes YAML manifests and want a maintainable Helm chart without hand-templating
- you develop operators with Operator-SDK or Kubebuilder and want Helm chart packaging in your Makefile
- you want to convert kustomize output into a distributable Helm chart

## When to avoid
- you already maintain hand-crafted Helm charts with complex templating logic
- you need a general-purpose YAML templating or manifest validation tool rather than chart generation
- you use Helm versions older than 3.6.0
